	To study the synchrotron terahertz emission superconducting (YBCO) film detectors are used with the intrinsic response time in the order of a few picoseconds. For fast, continuous sampling of the individual THz ultra-short pulses a novel digitizer system has been developed. The system consists of detector, wideband low-noise amplifier, fast pulse digitizer board, back-end readout board. High-end graphic processing units (GPUs) perform real-time data analysis. Four samples with 12 bit are recorded in parallel for each fast pulse with programmable sampling times in the range of 3 to 100 ps. A new bus master DMA engine connected to PCI express endpoint has been developed to ensure a continuous high data throughput of up to 4 GByte/s. This heterogeneous real-time system architecture based on FPGA and GPU has successful been used for on-line pulse reconstruction and evaluations and calculates the peak amplitude of each pulse and the time between consecutive bunches with a picosecond time resolution at ANKA. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is performed on-line for the frequency analysis of the CSR undulations.
